Patent number: 11134477Abstract: As part of carrier assignment and configuration for multicarrier wireless communications, a single uplink (UL) primary carrier may provide control information for multiple concurrent downlink (DL) carriers. Optionally, control information for each DL carrier may be transmitted over paired UL carriers. Carrier switching of UL and/or DL carriers, including primary and anchor carriers, may occur during normal operation or during handover, and may occur in only the UL or only the DL direction. A unidirectional handover is performed when only an UL carrier or only a DL carrier is switched as part of a handover. Switching of UL and/or DL carriers may be from one component carrier or a subset of carriers to another component carrier, another subset of carriers, or all carriers in the same direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2016Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Stephen E. Terry, Guodong Zhang, Jin Wang, Lei Wang

Patent number: 11129101Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and mobile telecommunication devices configured to operate within a cellular telecommunication network using multiple wireless communication services or technologies. Methods may include obtaining, by a mobile telecommunication device, its current location. The mobile telecommunication device may then determine, such as from a stored record or from an internet or telecommunication network link, which particular wireless communication services are available in a local area of the cellular telecommunication network. The mobile telecommunication device may then modify operation of its transceiver equipment for the wireless communication services, such as by activating the transceiver equipment if the wireless communication service is available, or reducing power usage, such as beaconing, for a wireless communication service that is not available.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: T-MOBILE USA, INC.Inventor: Cameron Byrne
